One of mine brought home a live flying squirrel a couple summers ago. That was a delight catching in the house. Thankfully it seemed to be a bit dazed (though completely unharmed) so he wasn't moving as fast as one usually does. And would have loved to witness him catching it. Flying squirrels don't tend to be on the ground very much so I would assume it was quite the thing to see. He seems to love snake meat though. He finds them outside like its his only job in the world and eats most of em. On the other hand, his brother is more like Garfield than a killer😂

That’s fucking wild haha the craziest things I’ve seen through the years are a gopher, a few hummingbirds, and a fucking bunny. Lizards are the most common. Cats are just sneaky motherfuckers. They’ll hide in trees and wait until their prey comes to them. Cats are low time preference 😂
Why do you think your two cats are so different?
Most effective predators on land imo. As to why mine are so different, I couldnt even begin to guess. Even as kittens the difference was noticable. Maybe just all the mixed genetics that come from a line of stray city cats (the parents were found outside by a friend and taken in). They're even built differently. The hunter (Ziggy) is lean like a cheetah where as Smokey is built like a tiger so that's part of why I lean to the mixed genetics being part the cause.
Oh they’re not siblings? 🤔
Sometimes their personalities just differ I guess
No they siblings. Just cats are wierd with genetics passing on, in part because a single female can be impregnated by multiple males at the same time, so for all I know, two of my friend's male cats got the mom knocked up.
Oh yeah that’s true. Actually now that I think about it, I had a female cat that got pregnant once and all her babies were black. But she has some white spots that you can only see up close. Her babies were like that too. There is a cat in the neighborhood always hanging around that is black so I assumed that was the dad. She got pregnant a second time and they were all black again. But the third time she got pregnant, she had kittens that were black and two different kittens that were white with gray paws. Like a Siamese. I assumed it was possible because she had some white spots. But it came out of nowhere and still didn’t really make sense. Eventually I saw another cat that was white. But I assumed that it was just one cat that knocked her up. Your explanation makes more sense. She was a little slut 😂
hahahaha. My two have similar fur patterns, but different coloring. And they had a sister that my mom didnt take (they were hers until she passed) that was pure white. Definitely a mixed batch to say the least
Its also possible he's a closet stoner😂 
😂😂😂
My friend and his roommates had this cat that was crazy hyper and wouldn’t fucking sit still. So they puffed a bunch of weed they were smoking in her face. She laid there and chilled the fuck out for hours. It was kinda fucked up but also funny. Idk if it’s bad for them but that cat wasn’t going to hunt shit for the rest of the day lol
All mammals have a endocannabinoid system. I doubt its harmful in any way (aside from the obvious smoke part). A friends dog used to eat it if we left any on the table and loved the shit. One crinkle of a baggie and she would be there waiting for her share😅
Yeah she seemed fine but when I tell the story to some softies, they get triggered and yell animal abuse. Funny enough, they sell cbd treats now for cats with anxiety 😂
Shit, forgot that was a thing for pets. Well there ya go. Yea like I said, the smoke part itself is the only harmful part if ya get a pet high that way. And the way I see it, they would flee in terror (especially a cat) if they found it unpleasant. Funny thing about people who want to scream abuse over such things, I bet a large portion of them abuse their pets with a shit diet so they can save their whining for someone who gives a fuck as far as I am concerned
That’s true lmao the fucking kibble is full of seed oils and fillers that are not evolutionarily consistent with their actual diets. Rice and corn? Come on now. Cats and dogs are literally carnivores.
for real. I do giver mine kibble in between real cat food feedings, but its quite pricey and nothing in it they shouldnt eat. Im particular about what I consume, so I treat them the same way. In fact, if needed for some reason, I would sacrifice my diet to be sure theirs stays the same. If I gotta eat raman for a few days so they can eat good, so be it. Although some of their canned food I get them I would certainly try if needed, and one I have already. Chicken in broth, nothing more, and it was quite tasty😂
I wouldn’t sacrifice my diet for the cats. Their stomachs are more acidic than ours. A couple meals of their shitty kibble is more tolerable for them. But yeah you can get your pets to eat scraps if you start them on it early on. I had a cat that ate literal chicken bones. They have some dried pet food with clean ingredients but more expensive for sure!
No meaning I would not buy bottom shelf kibble for them then buy myself good food. They are weird about human food for some reason and there were a few times when things were rough for me and bought them cheap shit. I just felt horrible about it. A few day fast is another option instead of ramen. But I just can't do that to them. I wouldnt do it to my children if I had any and treat my pets no differently. They have never been sick and havent been to the vet since they were kittens and I plan on keeping it that way. All that said though, ideally Im never in that positon again😉
